Generate an RPM-based Raspberry Pi Kernel

Project Description

The Fedora project has a standard RPM kernel package. The Fedora ARM project has extended this package to build separate kernels for various ARM system-on-a-chip (SOC) platforms, generating binary RPM packages for kernel-omap, kernel-tegra, kernel-kirkwood, and so forth. This package should be extended to generate a kernel package for the Broadcom SOC used in the Raspberry Pi (either kernel-raspi or kernel-bcm).

In order to create a standard RPM package file, Dracut (initramfs) will need to be properly supported.

Expected outcome: the Fedora kernel package generates a Raspberry Pi kernel binary RPM.

Skills required: packaging, kernel building

Maximum number of participants: 2 (kernel package, initramfs/dracut setup)
